More Bowie Covers

In addition to being inspired to do a Bowie covers compilation by seeing the Feelies perform Fame in Something Wild, I should also cite Seu Jorge's great set of Bowie covers from the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou soundtrack (specifically The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions cd) as inspiration. For some reason, I only got it earlier this year. Not only the cd is great, but it also validates my argument that the best tribute albums are usually one artist paying homage to another artist. (And yes, I realize that kind of invalidates my putting together a tribute compilation like this, but I prefer not to dwell on that. :) I also recognize that including Nirvana's version of The Man Who Sold the World is a bit on the obvious side (especially since Richard Barone's version is quite dandy). Blame it on my Gen Xer mentality if you must.

About the blog

I'm a 40something guy who did a college radio show during grad school. I missed doing it, so a mixtape music blog seemed like the best alternative. While I may post the occasional album, I'll primarily posts mixtapes - overviews of an artist/bands career, odds and sods collections, 2-3 artists, or more "traditional" mixtapes featuring all different artists.
If you own the rights to any of the music and want it to be removed, please e-mail me at rightsideofagoodthing@gmail.com and I will take it down.
